Its a copy of a Allis-Chalmers G model late 40’s to mid 50’s it was used on small farms and truck gardens about 30 horsepower still a bit of market for them

One reason for making in cuba I would guess is they can make them using old engine design and not worry about the polluting stuff and all that for small farms and gardens will work great

More like about 10 HP. Modern garden tractors (lawn mowers) have 25 HP easily. This thing didn’t sell 60 years ago, so why would it sell now?

You would think more modern stuff cheap from China would be what the folks want.

China is Cuba’s #2 trade partner after Venezuela.

That makes sense; Allis Chalmers G’s were built in Alabama.

But the fact is that they stopped making them over 60 years ago and there are much better, more modern tractors available on the market for less than the cost of reproducing one of those antiques.

I smell dead fish.

About 30 years ago, the Ag Engineers at Iowa State had a project to design a tractor that a village blacksmith could make most of the repairs on. That’s what this looks like to me.
